Suggestions

Welcome to the Redgate Monitor feature suggestions list. Tell us how we can improve Redgate Monitor by voting on these suggestions or by submitting your own ideas.

This is the easiest way to make an impact on Redgate Monitor’s roadmap. Check out the completed suggestions to see how your ideas have influenced us in the past. Please note that this list is one of multiple sources that drive our development, meaning that we will not always implement the highest-ranking suggestions.

To give your idea the greatest possible impact, please follow these guidelines:

  • Describe the goal you’re trying to accomplish, rather than a specific solution to get there
  • If you have a favoured solution, add it as a comment to your suggestion
  • Give us as much context as possible
  • Only make one suggestion per post. If you have multiple ideas, submit them in separate posts
  • Comment and vote on existing posts to develop the ideas — the Redgate Monitor team will often stay quiet initially about new suggestions to see what you have to say!

If you have any questions visit the Redgate Monitor forum.

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

  3. Long running query alerts and daylight saving time changes

    many long running query alerts generated between 1 am and 2 am on Sunday 11/5, as the time change caused it to add an hour when calculating all the query times. Can the alert be adjusted to account for the time change?

  4. Manually rerun a metric

    When an alert pops up, after I fix the problem, I want to refresh the metric to ensure that it was fixed. There's no way to tell how often the data is refreshed.

  5. Allow extended email addresses "xxx<myemail@yyy.com>" or custom prefixes for subject line

    I send my alerts to a tech-staff group and would like to add specific text for end users to filter all SQL monitor emails against. Either allowing extended email address like "xxxmyemail@yyy.com"
    or some global prefix that can be added to subject (or body for that matter). Right now I don't see any reference to redgate or sql monitor to distinguish it from other monitoring email I receive.

  6. Have choice to send email as plain text

    When I have it send email to my text service it's HTML, which obviously makes the text msg very large. Allow choice to send alerts via plain text.

  7. Customized Alerts

    Hi,

    Can we get a report which shows top 10 databases by growth over a certain period of time, across all the monitored SQL instances?

    There should be one graph which shows top 10 databases by growth, gathering data from all the databases scattered across multiple SQL instances, rather than multiple graphs showing top 10 databases by growth.

    It would be nice to have so that we can determine what databases do we need to focus on.

    Thanks,
    Hammad

  8. Restrict the read only role to only the "Overview" page.

    I've explored using Read Only views for SQL Monitor and they work great, while really parring down the amount of information that the user can see. However, is there are way to lock it down even further so that they can only see the homescreen with the colored status on the specified SQL Instances? Essentially only allowing them to see status without drilling down into the instance itself and viewing waits, disk, CPU etc.

    This could be used by management, etc.

  9. Job execution in overview graphs

    It would be nice if you in the Overview graphs could see SQL Agent Jobs, just like long running queries, deadlocks etc.
    It could be good for troubleshooting high disk IO, CPU etc, if you could see that a job has started running at a point.

    I've tried to illustrate my idea in the attached file.

  12. Search SQL Monitor Long Running Query Alerts By User Running Query

    It would be very useful to search the Long Running Query alerts for a user? The alert text that is displayed in the GUI and in the alert emails list the user running the query. I have Monitor set up to only send the alert emails for my HIGH category. But, when I want to do analysis or documentation, I would love to find all of the alerts Low, Med or High, that are attributed to a specific user or a group of users. Is that possible? To filter the list in the UI to only show alerts from a…

  13. Enable extended events per server

    Currently, enabling the use of extended events is a global setting.

    It would be great if this could be enabled per server, to avoid well-documented issues (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2878139/fix-using-dbghelp-dll-version-4-0-5-error-is-logged-in-sql-server-2012) between extended events and older versions of SQL Server (namely SQL 2008 which is still in extended support until 2019)

  14. deadlock frame procname text missing final character

    The SQL displayed under the frame procname for a deadlock is missing the final character of the SQL.
    e.g: and #ttable.StartDate is nul
    Should be
    and #ttable.StartDate is null

  15. Support for showing multiple metrics with the same units on Analysis Graph

    When showing more than one metric on a graph on the Analysis page, I fully understand that it is difficult to merge the units scales on the x axis. So what you get is each graph has it's 'own' x axis - and I get that - it makes sense when the units are incompatible (eg. percentage vs KB used vs batch/sec).

    But when all the metrics are measure in the same units, it can create a visually confusing graph.

    For example I'm looking at memory usage over time, so I've chosen Machine: memory used, SQL Server: total memory, SQL…

  16. Add exclusions to Job Failing alerts

    When a user deliberately stops a job while it's running, it fires a job failed alert. Add exclusion regex so we can add something like "The job was stopped prior to completion by User...." to ignore these.

  17. Improve alert troubleshooting by showing sql server error log

    When viewing an alert it may be helpful to see the error log for the server for the surrounding time. RAISERROR can log to the error log, so this info could be useful to see.

  18. Show Job Description in Job Alerts

  19. Create summary tile with alert search results

    I'd like a summary tile to show failed jobs. To be more flexible, a functionality to save an alert search as a summary tile would be a nice feature.
